We got some ideas on what we need to research on and raised some questions to guide our research.
We can start researching on the questions we came up with and filling the answers we get in our Pros and Cons sheet. One of the questions we are going to focus on is whether the Three Gorges Dam will have a positive or negative impact on China.
2/24
We added 4-5 Pros and Cons and answered about 3 questions. We found a website that said the Dam would pollute the Yangtze and one that said it wouldn't and we found more websites that said it would so we agreed with that.
We want to add the facts that answer one of our yard questions and answer other questions and get about 4-5 more Pros and Cons.
2/25
We read through a Shanghai Daily article and right now we have more cons then pros.
We would like to answer 3 or more questions tomorrow and get along better.
3/1
We answered about 2-3 of our questions and added a lot of pros and cons. One surprising fact was that 47 rare plant species are endangered because of the Three Gorges Dam.
We would like to find good websites to gather good research and answer 2-3 more of our questions. Maybe we can find some other ways to gather research other than websites (videos, books,etc.).
3/2
We raised better questions and we found out that 4 rare plant species were extinct.
Because we couldn't find any books on the Three Gorges Dam, Macrina will go to the library after school and try to find a book on the Yangtze.
